Does anyone out there have an outer headlight rim for the MM high light, must have the original screw with it. Also, where does everyone stand with a lead additive for the 918cc engine. Thanks, Paul Follett.

@manly: If you're able to find one, may I stand in line behind you for the next one? I got just one with my '49 Tourer.

I have two Minors in upstate New York. One is the 1961 Traveller my dad bought new that year in London, where I was born. It's had a hard life but is still running cheerfully at 54K miles. The second is the oldest Minor confirmed to survive in North America, a LHD high-light Tourer built in April 1949. It's a total basket case, but will be restored over the coming years.

There were some screw type ones on there but guess must have gone. I found the original ones off my MM in the garage last week. Need rechroming as I replaced them with new ones.

Did you contact Gary Booker re the MM water pumps and are you coming over next month for the NEC show?

I somehow acquired 3no secondhand split rims sometime ago. All three were rechromed for a 1952 MM restoration. I kept two and only rejected the third one as the Chromers polished a small corner off the rim where the join is at the bottom of the rim. It has original screw and is in my garage somewhere.

If someone can tell me how to load a photo (tried with no luck) I will upload.

Short version is to press "Reply", click on the tab below your message that says [Attachments] and then press [Add Files] which will take you to your files in your computer but they need to be smaller than the ones you send since it will reject large files. You may first need to open that same file in one of the programs like "Microsoft PAINT" and click on something like "resize" to make it perhaps 30% of the original photo size.

Sorry for late response, I've been lagging on MMOC Forum notifications.

I presume the first of the two photos shows Rob's three, and the second one is Ian's rechromed one? I'd be happy with the latter if you'd be willing to let it go (and could collect it from a UK address over the holidays).

Perhaps drop me a private message? Thanks in advance, either way.

best, jv.

Rob: Aha, thanks then. Much appreciated. Will wait for a shout from Ian.
